I tried to download Libre word processing three times and it said it downloaded but it did not. I hit the icon, it flashes on the screen and disappears. I noticed a help feature from Libre but it doesn't work either as the instructions are impossible to follow.

How can I get Libre Office downloaded so it works on my Windows 10 PC?

Thanks, Mark

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a download manager.


This download manager works separately from the browser. The browser tells it what to download, and off it goes.
